In yet another fabulous boost to Darwin's economy, it has just been announced that the controversial Gunns pulp mill planned for Tasmania will now be built on the old East Arm leprosarium site. A two -headed Gunns spokesman , wearing two papier mache hats,made the shock announcement this morning . Cascade lager beer is being quaffed in large quantities in the Wedding Cake to celebrate Darwin's latest triumph .
Gunns have told the Territory government that pumping a million gallons of gunk a day into Darwin Harbour will enhance real estate values. While admitting construction of the huge plant will cause rents to go into orbit, Gunns have come up with a solution.
Apart from churning out toilet rolls and packaging to help fill Tokyo Harbour, the mill will make cardboard houses for local families unable to afford a roof over their head.
